At the Akorda presidential palace, President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev met with 24 winners of international subject Olympiads, including four
gold, 11 silver, and nine bronze medalists. Kazakh school students achieved
outstanding results on the world stage in chemistry, mathematics, physics,
geography, computer science, and biology. As the Head of State noted, these
victories not only brought glory to Kazakhstan but also demonstrated the high
level of the country’s education system. The President congratulated the young
talents and emphasized that their success was the result of the hard work not
only of the students themselves but also of their teachers and parents.
«Our flag is raised high on the world’s sporting and
creative stages in honor of the victories of our young compatriots. The
country’s prestige in the field of education is also high. Since last year, our
school students have taken part in more than 30 international Olympiads and
scientific competitions, winning thousands of medals, including nearly 200
gold, over 300 silver, and about 500 bronze. These remarkable achievements reflect
the high level of education in our country. We are proud of every winner who
has represented Kazakhstan abroad,» President Tokayev noted.
The Head of State emphasized the strategic importance of
investing in education, noting that human capital is the main driving force
behind the country’s development. Large-scale programs are being implemented in
this area. New-format Keleshek Mektepteri (Schools of the Future) are opening
across the country’s regions, and the status of teachers is being elevated. Of
course, there is also the Bolashak international scholarship program, under
which thousands of young Kazakh citizens have studied at leading universities
around the world. Starting next year, winners of international Olympiads will
also be eligible to study under this program.
President Tokayev presented the students with awards and
wished them further success. Afterwards, the prizewinners were given a tour of
the residence.
«In my opinion, a good Olympiad participant should be
hardworking, dedicated, persistent, and resilient,» shared Alikhan Ashirkhanov,
bronze medal winner of the International Biology Olympiad.
«In the future, I aspire to contribute to science and will,
of course, work towards this goal,» said Yenlik Bakytbekova, silver medal
winner of the International Chemistry Olympiad.
